NEW YORK -- Gleyber Torres' frustrating season encountered another pothole Friday night when manager Aaron Boone benched him during the third inning for a lack of hustle in the New York Yankees' eventual 8-5 loss to the last-place Toronto Blue Jays.

Torres prompted the move with a blunder in the second inning. Thinking he had clobbered a home run, Torres walked out of the batter's box admiring the 110.7 mph line drive off his bat. But the ball bounced off the left-field wall.
